Notability[edit]

Hi, an editor deleted a referenced paragraph about a road rage altercation in which a driver made a comment to a cyclist, then the cyclist used a key to scratch the door of the driver, then the driver struck the cyclist with a metal object. The editor who deleted this paragraph called this a non-notable example. Just to clarify Wikipedia terminology, the Wikipedia concept of "notability" only applies to an entire article. I think I know what you meant, though...you meant that the content was not relevant. However, I argue it is relevant, because the story comes from a Newsweek article on bike rage. If it is good enough for Newsweek's editors, it should be good enough for Wikipedia. As well, though, if you wanted to delete it because it is a less dramatic story (i.e., no shooting, deaths, etc.), I don't think that that is a good rationale. As the sources in the article point out, bike rage can start with a little exchange of insults and escalate. We need to show that bike rage and road rage can lead to a range of outcomes, from insults and minor assaults, all the way up to severe injuries and deaths.OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 03:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not 'bike rage' - it's 'road rage'. Where are the sources for this being an actual term in common use? I've never heard of it before today.Ianbrettcooper (talk) 13:03, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

This article seems to have a detectable pro-bike bias. Not really surprising given that it was written as part of the WikiProject on cycling. Can someone address this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.38.56.124 (talk) 13:46, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How is this not just Road Rage?[edit]

Contrary to the case of Air Rage, Road Rage does not imply a type of vehicle. Shouldn't this article be merged with Road Rage?--IvanStepaniuk (talk) 16:17, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
